Nvidia today launched the third GPU based on its next-generation Kepler graphics architecture, the GeForce GTX 670, which brings dramatically improved levels of price-performance, power efficiency and whisper-quiet operation for PC gamers.
Engineered from the same DNA as the recently announced GTX 680 (read our review) – Nvidia’s top-of-the-line, single-GPU – the GTX 670 packs a mean punch in its lithe 9.5-inch-long frame. It, according to Nvidia, outpaces the closest competitive product in gaming performance by upwards of 45 percent1, while consuming approximately 18 percent less power.2 You can check out our own benchmarks here, where we pit it against the closest competition from AMD.
Plus, according to Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 670 ties the competition’s much higher-priced flagship production in 25 of the world’s most popular games and benchmarks, a testament to the overall performance efficiency of the Kepler architecture. Check out our previous coverage of the new Kepler-based GPUs for more details.
The GTX 670 is built using Nvidia’s 28-nanometer Kepler architecture, as are the GTX 680 and dual-GPU GTX 690, which were introduced in March and April, respectively.
